- Toccata & Fugue in F, BWV 540
[13:6]
The Toccata is an exuberant, energy-filled extravaganza with many deceptive cadences at the end. The relatively little-known double fugue is enjoyable
in its own right, however. The first subject is chromatic and the ornaments are preserved throughout. The second subject enters on the Swell and is a
jumpy little thing. When the first theme reënters in the alto, though, Bach surprises us by following it with a pedal entrance of the second theme.
Impulse reverberation added.
